Import Tips
• Document that printing is subsidiary (not motifs/characters as primary use) to stay in 4811; elaborate designs may trigger Chapter 49
• Test basis weight precisely, as exceeding 15 g/m² moves to 4811.90.60 or higher duties
• Include origin certificates for pulp content if claiming preferences, noting sulfate vs. other processes
